John Hill sends his regards to Linnaeus and sends him a list of the plants depicted in his book Eden: or a compleat body of gardening.
The Lepia is a new genus, and Hill gives its characteristics. The specimen comes from Africa, and Hill thinks it is the same as one depicted by Johann Philip Breyne [in his Prodromi fasciculi rariorum plantarum].
The other plants should be familiar to Linnaeus, since Hill has used the trivial names published in Species plantarum. However, the crimson periwinkle has not been described before. It has its flowers in clusters at the head of the stems.
